Bear Market PLUSSM Based Inversely on the Value
of the S&P 500® Index due February 20, 2026
Principal at Risk Securities
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed
by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The Bear Market PLUS offer inverse exposure to the underlying index, will
pay no interest and do not guarantee any return of your principal at maturity. Having inverse exposure to the underlying index means that
investors will earn a positive return if the underlying index declines in value, but will lose some or all of their principal amount if
the underlying index increases in value. At maturity, if the underlying index has depreciated in value, investors will receive
the stated principal amount of their investment plus a positive payment reflecting the leveraged downside performance of the underlying
index, subject to a maximum payment at maturity. However, if the underlying index has increased in value, at maturity investors
will lose 1% for every 1% increase. Investors could lose up to their entire principal amount at maturity. In no event will the payment
at maturity be less than $0. The Bear Market PLUS are for investors who seek inverse exposure to an equity-based underlying and who are
willing to risk their principal and forgo current income and positive returns above the maximum payment at maturity in exchange for the
leverage feature that applies to a limited range of negative performance of the underlying index. The Bear Market PLUS are unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully
and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., issued as part of JPMorgan Financial’s Medium-Term Notes,
Series A, program. Any payment on the Bear Market PLUS is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the Bear Market
PLUS, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the Bear Market PLUS. The investor may lose some or all
of the stated principal amount of the Bear Market PLUS.

Key Investment Rationale
Bear Market PLUS offer leveraged inverse exposure to an underlying
asset, which may be equities, commodities and/or currencies, without any protection against positive performance of the underlying asset.
If the underlying asset has increased in value, investors are negatively exposed to the positive performance of the underlying asset.
At maturity, if the underlying asset has depreciated, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus
a positive return reflecting the leverage downside performance of the underlying asset, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. At
maturity, if the underlying asset has appreciated, the investor will lose 1% for every 1% of appreciation. In no event will the
payment at maturity be less than $0. Investors may lose some or all of the stated principal amount of the Bear Market PLUS.
Enhanced Performance |
The Bear Market PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns for a certain range of negative performance relative to a direct short investment in the underlying index. |
Positive Return Scenario |
The underlying index decreases in value and, at maturity, the Bear Market PLUS pay the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a return equal to 400% of the index percent decrease, subject to the maximum payment at maturity of at least $1,529.00 (at least 152.90% of the stated principal amount) per Bear Market PLUS. The actual maximum payment at maturity will be provided in the pricing supplement. |
Par Scenario |
The final index value is equal to the initial index value and, at maturity, the Bear Market PLUS pay the stated principal amount of $1,000 per Bear Market PLUS. |
Negative Return Scenario |
The underlying index increases in value and, at maturity, the Bear Market PLUS pay an amount that is less than the stated principal amount by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage increase of the final index value from the initial index value. (Example: if the underlying index increases in value by 20%, the Bear Market PLUS will pay an amount that is less than the stated principal amount by 20%, or $800 per Bear Market PLUS.) |

How it works
| § | Positive
Return Scenario. If the final index value is less than the initial index value, for each $1,000 principal amount Bear Market
PLUS, investors will receive the $1,000 stated principal amount plus a positive return equal to 400% of the depreciation of the
underlying index over the term of the Bear Market PLUS, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. Under the hypothetical terms of the
Bear Market PLUS, an investor will realize the hypothetical maximum payment at maturity at a final index value that reflects a decline
of 13.225% from the initial index value. |
| § | Par
Scenario. If the final index value is equal to the initial index value, investors will receive the stated principal amount
of $1,000 per Bear Market PLUS. |
| § | Negative
Return Scenario. If the final index value is greater than the initial index value, investors will receive an amount that is
less than the stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the percentage increase of the final index value from the initial
index value. In no event will the payment at maturity be less than $0. |
| § | For example, if the underlying index appreciates 50%, investors will lose 50% of their principal and receive only $500 per Bear Market
PLUS at maturity, or 50% of the stated principal amount. |

Principal at Risk Securities
If the underlying index appreciates over the term
of the Bear Market PLUS, investors will lose some or all of their principal amount at maturity. If the final index value is greater than
or equal to twice the initial index value, investors will lose their entire principal amount at maturity.
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments
on the Bear Market PLUS shown above apply only if you hold the Bear Market PLUS for their entire term. These hypotheticals do not
reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the
hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Risk Factors
The following
is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Bear Market PLUS. For further discussion of these
and other risks, you should read the sections entitled “Risk Factors” of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying
product supplement and Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting
and other advisers in connection with your investment in the Bear Market PLUS.
Risks Relating to the
Bear Market PLUS Generally
| § | The Bear Market PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee the return of any
principal and your investment in the Bear Market PLUS may result in a loss. The terms of the Bear Market PLUS differ from those
of ordinary debt securities in that the Bear Market PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee the payment of any principal amount at maturity.
If the final index value is greater than the initial index value, the payment at maturity will be an amount in cash that is less than
the stated principal amount of each Bear Market PLUS by an amount proportionate to the increase in the value of the underlying index and
may be zero. If the underlying index appreciates over the term of the Bear Market PLUS such that the final index value is greater than
or equal to twice the initial index value, investors will lose their entire principal amount at maturity. |
| § | The Bear Market PLUS provide bearish exposure to the underlying index.
Because the Bear Market PLUS provide bearish exposure to the underlying index, your return on the Bear Market PLUS will not
benefit from any appreciation of the underlying index over the term of the Bear Market PLUS and, if the final index value is greater than
the initial index value, you will lose some or all of your principal. |
| § | The appreciation potential of the Bear Market PLUS is limited by the maximum
payment at maturity. The appreciation potential of the Bear Market PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of at
least $1,529.00 (at least 152.90% of the stated principal amount) per Bear Market PLUS. The actual maximum payment at maturity will be
provided in the pricing supplement. Because the maximum payment at maturity will be limited to at least 152.90% of the stated principal
amount for the Bear Market PLUS, any decline in the final index value by more than 13.225% (if the maximum payment at maturity is set
at 152.90% of the stated principal amount) will not further increase the return on the Bear Market PLUS. |
| § | The Bear Market PLUS are subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial
and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and any actual or anticipated changes to our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit
ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Bear Market PLUS. Investors
are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Bear Market PLUS. Any actual
or anticipated decline in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings or increase in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
credit spreads determined by the market for taking that credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Bear Market
PLUS. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to
you under the Bear Market PLUS and you could lose your entire investment. |
| § | As a finance subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial has no independent operations and has limited assets. As a finance subsidiary of
JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our securities and the
collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially
all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to JPMorgan Chase & Co.
or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to meet our
obligations under the Bear Market PLUS. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a bankruptcy
or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in respect
of the Bear Market PLUS as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make
payments on the Bear Market PLUS, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and
that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
For more information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum. |

Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the Value of the S&P 500® Index due February 20, 2026
Principal at Risk Securities
| § | Secondary trading may be limited. The
Bear Market PLUS will not be listed on a securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the Bear Market PLUS. Even
if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Bear Market PLUS easily.
JPMS may act as a market maker for the Bear Market PLUS, but is not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market
makers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the Bear Market PLUS, the price at which you may be able to trade your
Bear Market PLUS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS
is willing to buy the Bear Market PLUS. If at any time JPMS
or another agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that there would be little or no secondary market for the Bear Market PLUS. |
| § | The final terms and estimated valuation of the Bear Market PLUS will be provided in the pricing
supplement. The final terms of the Bear Market PLUS will be provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, each of
the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS and the maximum payment at maturity will be provided in the pricing supplement and each may
be as low as the applicable minimum set forth on the cover of this document. Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment
in the Bear Market PLUS based on the minimums for the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS and the maximum payment at maturity. |
| § | The tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS are uncertain. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper
U.S. federal income tax characterization of the Bear Market PLUS, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS. The IRS might
not accept, and a court might not uphold, the treatment of the Bear Market PLUS described in “Additional Information about the Bear
Market PLUS ― Additional Provisions ― Tax considerations” in this document and in “Material U.S. Federal Income
Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the
Bear Market PLUS, the timing and character of any income or loss on the Bear Market PLUS could differ materially and adversely from our
description herein. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment
of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in
these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including
the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property
to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors
should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership”
regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest
charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance
promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Bear
Market PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences
of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts
of Interest
| § | Economic interests of the issuer, the guarantor, the calculation agent, the agent of the offering of the Bear Market PLUS and other
affiliates of the issuer may be different from those of investors. We
and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Bear Market PLUS, including acting as calculation agent
and as an agent of the offering of the Bear Market PLUS, hedging our obligations under the Bear Market PLUS and making the assumptions
used to determine the pricing of the Bear Market PLUS and the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS, which we refer to as the estimated
value of the Bear Market PLUS. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests and the
economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the
Bear Market PLUS. The calculation agent will determine the initial index value and the final index value and will calculate the amount
of payment you will receive at maturity, if any. Determinations made by the calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence
or non-occurrence of market disruption events, the selection of a successor to the underlying index or |
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the Value of the S&P 500® Index due February 20, 2026
Principal at Risk Securities
calculation of the final index value in the event of a discontinuation
or material change in method of calculation of the underlying index, may affect the payment to you at maturity.
In addition,
our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our and
JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the Bear
Market PLUS and the value of the Bear Market PLUS. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection
with the Bear Market PLUS could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the Bear Market PLUS declines.
Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement for
additional information about these risks.
| § | Hedging and trading activities by the issuer and its affiliates could potentially affect the value of the Bear
Market PLUS. The hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates and of any other hedging counterparty with
respect to the Bear Market PLUS on or prior to the pricing
date and prior to maturity could positively affect the value of the underlying index and, as a result, could decrease the amount an investor
may receive on the Bear Market PLUS at maturity, if any. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing
date could potentially affect the initial index value and, therefore, could potentially decrease the level that the final index value
must reach before you receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the issue price of the Bear Market PLUS or so that you do not suffer
a loss on your initial investment in the Bear Market PLUS. Additionally, these hedging or trading activities during the term of the Bear
Market PLUS, including on the valuation date, could positively affect the final index value and, accordingly, the amount of cash
an investor will receive at maturity, if any. It is possible that these hedging or trading activities could result in substantial returns
for us or our affiliates while the value of the Bear Market PLUS declines. |
Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Bear Market PLUS
| § | The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS will be lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the Bear Market PLUS.
The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue
price of the Bear Market PLUS will exceed the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS because costs associated with selling, structuring
and hedging the Bear Market PLUS are included in the original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS. These costs include the selling commissions,
the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations
under the Bear Market PLUS and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Bear Market PLUS. See “Additional Information
about the Bear Market PLUS — The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS” in this document. |
| § | The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS does not represent future values of the Bear Market PLUS and may differ from others’
estimates. The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS is determined
by reference to internal pricing models of our affiliates. This estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS is based on market conditions
and other relevant factors existing at the time of pricing and assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend
rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the Bear Market PLUS that
are greater than or less than the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in
the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the Bear Market PLUS could change
significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness,
interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy Bear Market
PLUS from you in secondary market transactions. See “Additional Information about the Bear Market PLUS — The estimated value
of the Bear Market PLUS” in this document. |
| § | The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS is derived by reference to an internal funding rate.
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates.
Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the Bear Market PLUS as
well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Bear Market PLUS in comparison to those costs for
the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market
inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to |
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the Value of the S&P 500® Index due February 20, 2026
Principal at Risk Securities
approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate
for the Bear Market PLUS. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the
terms of the Bear Market PLUS and any secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS. See “Additional Information about the Bear
Market PLUS — The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS” in this document.
| § | The value of the Bear Market PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher
than the then-current estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS for a limited time period.
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS will be partially paid
back to you in connection with any repurchases of your Bear Market PLUS by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions, the structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some
circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. See “Additional
Information about the Bear Market PLUS — Secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS” in this document for additional
information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your Bear Market PLUS during this initial period may
be lower than the value of the Bear Market PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements). |
| § | Secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS will likely be lower than the original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS.
Any secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS will likely be lower than the original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS
because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt
issuances and, also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions, the structuring fee, projected hedging profits,
if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS. As a result, the price, if
any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy Bear Market PLUS from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower
than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately
following risk factor for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS. |
The Bear Market PLUS are not designed to
be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Bear Market PLUS to maturity. See “—
Risks Relating to the Bear Market PLUS Generally — Secondary trading may be limited” above.
| § | Secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS will be impacted by many
economic and market factors. The secondary market price of the Bear Market PLUS during their term will be impacted by
a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, structuring
fee, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the closing level of the underlying index, including: |
| o | any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
| o | customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades; |
| o | our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances; |
| o | the actual and expected volatility of the underlying index; |

The following table sets forth the published high and low closing
levels, as well as end-of-quarter closing levels, of the underlying index for each quarter in the period from January 1, 2020 through
January 22, 2025. The graph following the table sets forth the daily closing levels of the underlying index during the same period. The
closing level of the underlying index on January 22, 2025 was 6,086.37. We obtained the closing level information above and in the table
and graph below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. The
historical closing levels of the underlying index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be
given as to the closing level of the underlying index on the valuation date. The payment of dividends on the stocks that constitute the
underlying index are not reflected in its closing level and, therefore, have no effect on the calculation of the payment at maturity.

Additional Information about the Bear Market PLUS
Please read this information in conjunction with the terms on the
front cover of this document.
Additional Provisions: |
Postponement of maturity date: |
If the scheduled maturity date is not a business day, then the maturity date will be the following business day. If the scheduled valuation date is not a trading day or if a market disruption event occurs on that day so that the valuation date is postponed and falls less than three business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date of the Bear Market PLUS will be postponed to the third business day following the valuation date as postponed. |

Calculation agent: |

The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS: |
The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS set forth
on the cover of this document is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component
with the same maturity as the Bear Market PLUS, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives
underlying the economic terms of the Bear Market PLUS. The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS does not represent a minimum price
at which JPMS would be willing to buy your Bear Market PLUS in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding
rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla
fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based
on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the Bear Market PLUS as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Bear Market PLUS in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which
may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the Bear Market PLUS. The
use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the Bear Market PLUS
and any secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS. For additional information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to
the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Bear Market PLUS — The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS is derived
by reference to an internal funding rate” in this document. The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms
of the Bear Market PLUS is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded
market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include
volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly,
the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS on the pricing date is based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions
existing at that time. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Bear Market
PLUS — The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS does not represent future values of the Bear Market PLUS and may differ from
others’ estimates” in this document.
The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS will be lower
than the original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Bear Market PLUS
are included in the original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated
or unaffiliated dealers, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks
inherent in hedging our obligations under the Bear Market PLUS and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Bear Market
PLUS. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result
in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our
obligations under the Bear Market PLUS may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates
will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Bear Market PLUS — The estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS will be lower than the original issue price (price
to public) of the Bear Market PLUS” in this document. |
Secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS: |
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Bear Market PLUS — Secondary market prices of the Bear Market PLUS will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in this document. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS will |

Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the Value of the S&P 500® Index due February 20, 2026

|
be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your Bear Market PLUS by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be the shorter of two years and one-half of the stated term of the Bear Market PLUS. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the Bear Market PLUS, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the Bear Market PLUS and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Bear Market PLUS — The value of the Bear Market PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than the then-current estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS for a limited time period.” |
Tax considerations: |
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4-I. The following discussion, when read in combination
with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S.
federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Bear Market PLUS.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our
special tax counsel, it is reasonable to treat your Bear Market PLUS as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences
to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement.
Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your Bear Market PLUS should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if
you hold your Bear Market PLUS for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of Bear Market PLUS at the issue price.
However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment of the Bear Market PLUS, in which case the timing and character of any income
or loss on the Bear Market PLUS could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice
requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice
focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also
asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance
of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including
any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should
be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital
gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and
effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely
affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS, including possible alternative treatments
and the issues presented by this notice.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents
paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include
U.S. equities. In light of the Bear Market PLUS’s bearish economics, payment on the Bear Market PLUS to Non-U.S. Holders will not
be subject to Section 871(m). |
Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging: |
The Bear Market PLUS are offered to meet investor demand for
products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the Bear Market PLUS. See “How the Bear Market PLUS
Work” in this document for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the Bear Market PLUS and “S&P 500®
Index Overview” in this document for a description of the market exposure provided by the Bear Market PLUS.
The original issue price of the Bear Market PLUS is equal
to the estimated value of the Bear Market PLUS plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers
and the structuring fee, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the Bear Market PLUS, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Bear Market PLUS. |
Benefit plan investor considerations: |
See “Benefit Plan Investor Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement. |
Supplemental plan of distribution: |
Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to use its
reasonable efforts to offer to purchase the Bear Market PLUS in the secondary market, but is not required to do so. JPMS, acting as agent
for JPMorgan Financial, will pay all of the selling commissions it receives from us to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. In addition,
Morgan Stanley Wealth Management will receive a structuring fee as set forth on the cover of this document for each Bear Market PLUS.
We or our affiliate may enter into swap agreements or related
hedge transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the Bear Market |

PLUS and JPMS and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions. See “— Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging” above and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement. |
Where you can find more information: |
You may revoke your offer to purchase the Bear Market PLUS
at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms
of, or reject any offer to purchase, the Bear Market PLUS prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Bear
Market PLUS, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to
reject such changes in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.

prospectus, as supplemented by the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to our Series A medium-term notes of which these Bear Market
PLUS are a part, the accompanying prospectus addendum and the more detailed information contained in the accompanying product supplement

the terms of the Bear Market PLUS and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials
including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, stand-alone

A to the accompanying prospectus addendum, as the Bear Market PLUS involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We
urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Bear Market PLUS.
